Empireland

Inspiration

Gamefi is emerging as a potential application of NFT and crypto for the mass. Play-to-earn is not sustainable and collapsed.

What it does

Inspired by traditional games, battleship & clash of clan, Empireland builds a Strategy Game added with RPG, RTS and MOBA elements, with focus on NFT utility and a sustainable in-game economy. It also has an NFT marketplace specified for game items.

How we built it

Challenges we ran into

• Designing a sustainable in-game economics, avoiding the failure of play-to-earn model.
